Legendary! This is a classic venue that is a must-see for anyone who loves a great burger and electric atmosphere. As we walked up to the door we could hear the live music from inside. They are cash only so we made sure to bring enough ahead of time. We got in line to order and moved up fairly quickly. We each ordered fries and a regular half pound burger. It took about 15 minutes to get ours so we just hung out at the bar. Our bartender was a nice young lady who was very attentive and polite. Once we got our food we ventured out to the back room to listen to the music and enjoy the atmosphere. Its like a giant indoor outdoor venue that's hard to describe. The bartenders out back were funny and really personable. They explained to us how they split tips, which wasnt very fair to the good ones. We made sure to tip them well, as they added to the overall experience of the visit. I'll definitely be back!

Fun atmosphere with varied places to sit. But everyone in our party of 10 thought all their food was too salty and overly spiced.

Fast Eddie’s Bon Air in Alton, IL is hands-down one of the most fun and memorable spots I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the lively energy that makes this place legendary. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance of casual and upbeat—whether you’re there to watch a game, catch some live music, or just relax with friends, it always feels like a celebration.
The food deserves every bit of praise it gets. The burger baskets are juicy and perfectly seasoned, the peel-and-eat shrimp are fresh and addictive, and the famous steak kabobs are a must-try—tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Generous portions and wallet-friendly prices make every bite even better. Pair your meal with an ice-cold beer or one of their signature drinks, and you’re in for a treat.
Service is consistently friendly and efficient, even on busy nights. The staff makes you feel welcome, keeps drinks filled, and ensures you’re having a great time. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Fast Eddie’s Bon Air captures the spirit of Alton with its fun vibe, great music, and unbeatable food. Five stars all the way—this is a true Midwest gem you’ll want to revisit again and again!
Coldest beer in town! Always great entertainment. Has become a legendary establishment. Great place to meet people and for large groups or old friends to reunite.

Was decent. The chicken sandwich was a bit dry and salty. The kabobs looked good. I mean a guess its about the atmosphere vs the food.

Awesome spot to come hang with friends - tons of space, indoors and outdoors. Finding a bar tender was pretty easy considering how many people were there, they can really handle crowds well. To get food, there was one line that was insanely long.
The food was good, we got kebabs and fries along with our drinks. The drinks were basic but moderately priced. We sat both inside and outside, they had a band outside playing and the vibe was lively! A fun spot to come drink and hang out :)
